You know what happens when you drink a lot of tea…
I need a few more potted plants to screen the catch basin.
This has been a months-long project, what with collecting the vessels, and finding an old ladder on FB marketplace, and much trial and error to get the water to flow from pot to pot without splashing all over the ground. We still have a bit of overspray, but it’s not egregious.
The pump is solar. The PROBLEM is that we bought a pump that could pump 6 feet up, BUT then the volume of water is too great. I imagine in the vast choice of pumps there is one out there that would be exactly right, but I have no idea how to find it.
The vessels in the tea-pee cycle are an anodized aluminum water pitcher (the kind that came in a set with metal drinking tumblers), then a le creuset enamel kettle, then a ̶t̶e̶a̶ coffee pot (had to cheat here, the teapot could not handle the water volume), then a mug (which catches over spray), and last the chamber pot. The chamber pot has holes drilled in it to allow the water to drain into the catch basin.
